I just brought one to replace my Chromebook [Samsung pro] I got it from Amazon for 229 with free shipping and handling, Just before black Friday sales. I love it!.

Please make an updated review on this product.

These cheaper chromebooks get overlooked. A lot of reviewers say they are suitable for kids and students. But I think they are perfectly suitable for non-techie adults as well who just want a basic, reliable and fairly speedy machine for web browsing, online shopping, banking etc...There are more premium options available but I think if you don't use a computer that much whats the point? You could stretch your budget and buy an Asus C302 or Pixelbook but get worried about scratching it! Wheres the fun in that? Computers are tools not fashion accesorries after all! Something like the Spin 11 is a cool little computer that gets the job done! Something honest about that! Nice review btw!

It's not useless, Chromebook's are updated every 6 weeks or so. Android, works ok on phone's, so so on tablets & as you've discovered not so, so so on the Chromebook!! As it lacks many of the sensors tablets have. However you would expect this as android was never designed for laptops!

two options -- check the facts, not the pictures - wacom pen - some spin 11's are sold with an optional wacom pen, that could mean that its just a TOUCH laptop, no wacom electronic's - world view camera -- the dip in the keyboard under the "acer" name, some spin 11's have an "optional" world camera to enable TABLET photo's

I bought this 2yrs ago. It's more expensive to buy this in Malaysia. My 13yr old uses this for online classes since the lockdown due to c19. I'm not a fan of their EMR pen. The nib came off after the first 2 months of using it and Acer doesnt provide nib replacements or a warranty for it. I managed to get Staedtler noris digital complementary from Staedtler and it's been good to us so far. Downside to chrome os is when teacher gives Excel formula homework and we can't have a Windows version excel.. so good to think about the longer term use if you'll be needing Microsoft office etc. Otherwise you'll get very basic googledocs for free. I do like that it's convenient for me to digitally sign documents during these times.

All Chromebook's are 1376 X 768 since the dawning of time ( chromebook 14 4GB, is 1080p )

It came with a sticker thing to put on the side of the laptop to put your stylus in

We got it at school and I enjoy using it!

Thanks for the video! I chose to buy the Google Pixelbook when it was on sale for $750 a couple weeks ago. I am loving it. Beautiful design and lots of power in a small package.

*gasp* Spongebobs eye in the background!

Acer Chromebooks have really good features and I think they could do really well with them. Great use of Mediatek chipsets in the devices.

I am so thankful to you

Damn $309? Mine was $150 at walmart

Bought this for my 6 year old I hope she likes it.

I just bought one yesterday.

i just got mine

Nice review! It would be great if you could put your hands on the surface go!

Did you figure out if the button on top of the stylus does anything?

Found one on eBay that has stylus straight from acer. A little more expensive but w stylus I think worth it.

How does it handle games?

Can adobe apps be used on this computer efficiently? Like adobe Lightroom CC and Adobe Photoshop CC?

I've had this laptop for about a year now. I've loved the features so far. Someone recently brought up to me that the keyboard isn't backlit. i hadn't really thought about it, but I wish it were. It's somewhat frustrating to work on it at night and to feel like I need to be sitting in front of a light.

I bought this in black friday

I dont think chromebooks can run minecraft but im not sure

damn I'm kinda late to to the game, but great review

Is the memory upgradable or do you have to use the USB and SD card slot.. also can you add to the RAM using a USB?

My Spin 11 didn't come with a stylus and any kind of active stylus I've tried to use with it worked really poorly. Good to know if you're looking to draw on this thing.

Can I hook up the acer spin 311 with a USB c to hdmi cable directly to my samsung computer monitor. Seems to be warnings from the cable sellers that you must have UBC alt mode. There is also a warning that certain cables are just pas thru and will not relay the signal thru the monitor. Suggestion is that cable should be powered? Not sure any advice will be nice. Have you ever connected the UBC port to a monitor with a simple cable?

When you opened the box, and plugged in the Acer Spin 11 Chromebook to charge, and then tried to power it on the first time, did you have any problems? Was the stylus and screen so sentitive that it started interacting and drawing from the screen when the tip was 1/2 inch-1 inch away from the screen rather than interacting and drawing only when the tip is in direct contact with the screen?

I’m getting this laptop today. 😁 Is the stylus Bluetooth or a regular pressure point to draw and write with? Thanks 🙏🏻 😁

my stylus is very sensitive and writes on the screen when i havent touched the screen with it yet. is anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?

what does the thing above the keyboard do

What about the model with 8gb of ram and pentium gold processor? It’s on sale for 500 euro in Netherlands

$99 in Target at the moment

Did all those games and apps come with it or did you have to download them?

Trying to buy a chromebook to handle e commerce for my website soo Acer R11 or Acer 311 Spin???

Will it work with a 128 micro SD card

Can anyone give me the power adaptor part number as I've just got this model second hand but it's missing a charger, thanks

I was just looking at that one,,, ived never used a chromebook before,, can you download apps and use them offline i able?

Don't think that I don't like about it is the MicroSD slot. When you put the card in it goes all the way in and you can't use your finger to pop it back out you have to use a screwdriver sideways. It's your told me to get an HC X adapter which I can't find anywhere. Other than that I really like this Chromebook. It has a very good keyboard.

I thought it supposed to have front and rear facing cameras.

Why would u set up a family thingy thats lowkey fucked up ima straight A student and i have never got that shit on me phone/ chromebook

Chromebook's are primarily html terminal's. Designed to work with Google web page " apps " this is the wrong word as it confuses people. Google docs are web page based utilities. Progressive web pages will extend the productivity of web pages. Web assembly, code will allow programs currently restricted to conventional personal computer's to run on web page based machines like Chromebook's.

When you are writing with the pen does the screen pick up ur hand as ur writing

Google Chrome just changed the expiration date from June 2024 to to June 2027.

Hello! Does it came with the sleeve?

Can u download docs and slides etc

can it be charged with a power bank?

i got mine but im trying to find a stylus for this type of laptop pc . does anyone know which stylus i can use? or a drawing tablet i can use on it?

Does the keyboard have a backlight?

How is the gorilla glass?

What is that cutout in the silver under the acer logo below screen

Does a micro-SD card sit flush with the rest of the device?

is the keyboard and mouse disabled when it's in tablet mode?

Hi I hope you can help?? I really want this item, and also want to make sure I get a CB that will do google play/android. I found the compatibility list by Google (sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/dev/chromium-os/chrome-os-systems-supporting-android-apps). For Spin 11 it only says "R751T". But I have found at least FOUR different model numbers for this (ex C4xp c9BL C5p3! and cant tell the different. ALso have found CP311-1HN which says its a Spin 11 (but its not on that compatability chart so I dont want that). ANy ideas/insight???

my usb c charging port is making intermittent connection (read 'ruined') in one month. these are shit.

Does this play roblox ok

Just use a Samsung S pen stylus. Works way better.

and when you can program using scratch blocks..... ... android app inventor ... program your android phone! appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ai2/beginner-videos.html

Minecraft as work stuff 😂😆😂

Not bad. But just not like the color. Black keys i seen other beauties. I don't need family one. Is just for me. I have chrome book, hate that the the speakers broke have issues, sound goes away. It was nice lots port, but not able to game like pc games I want, but can I have tablet app games ? Guess not. I still have protection sleeve on keys, but good to know. My picture on heavy one that is great, but if doesn't oh well. must been on sake. I wait holiday, cuz is back up $339 atm. But is touch screen 2 in 1 tabket and pen and case so not bad for low budget. Not super premium beauty only a bit outside then other I looked up on KZfaq lots of videos, but those cost $500 &1k & up to 6k etc, but I can't find them on HSN or ones I can make payments on. I'm poor. Not in my budget. That screen look not convincing me though. I'm looking all in one gaming. Wait Playstore finally ! So I can dowload all the games like Davinchi 1-3 not all at once when finish each, the room, all play store games ? How so ? Great then this is for me maybe no more expending looking to replace the sadly new broken ones only 1 & 2 yrs old when my tablet at least been okay if not broken screen dropped lightly tap on screen and chrome is soft screen not glass that break easier, plus leaving it at home from now on. Duffle bag etc protection didn't help it at all. I got it 2 yrs ago no extended warranty at Best But Digiland $79 on sale. I know it would have lasted if not for that stupid bad luck of had left it home that fateful day end of last yr. Maybe i can get an actual gaming pc build myself later like $300_$400 on KZfaq channel video. Tyvm for your review.
